what is the default location for boost library when installed using macport on mac ?

Question

I just now installed boost on mac, using macport with following command

sudo port install boost

It\'s installed fine, but I have no idea where

Answer 1

The headers should be in /usr/local/include/boost and the libs should be in /usr/local/lib. Or in /opt/local/include/boost and /opt/local/lib, I believe.

You can search using locate:

locate boost

Answer 2

For me, with High Sierra and MacPorts 2.4.4, MacPorts installed Boost 1.66 under:

/opt/local/include/boost

Answer 3

Default is /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include

You might want to rebuild the libs using the clang toolchain

./bjam toolset=clang

and then do a manual install in a specific location especially if you want to switch between versions (for source control or testing etc)

> find . -name boost

also works

Answer 4

Using the macOS Sierra 10.13.5, installed boost with brew. location in /usr/local/include/
